Like, if you check out the websites like nytimes.com the fonts there enable reading content. Try using something like Georgia... It will make the content much more readable. The rules of the web have changed. You no longer have to use sans-serif fonts for the main content on web today. The screens and the fonts have changed since the old rules of using sans-serif were written! :P Though, I will continue reading pluggd.in via my RSS Reader! :) Yes… Like, if you check out the websites like nytimes.com the fonts there enable reading content.

Change is good. But this change is not :) Firstly agree to the server problem. But you can disable the plugins are find a simpler hack/css trick to do the job. This theme is clean but content discovery is poor. You surely need to tweak it up. Invest in a good designer. Hint ;) ;) Things you can improve upon: 1. Content Discovery 2. Color Contrasts 3. Small Design elements that help in identification / navigation 4. Consistency of Fonts / Padding Its quite a challenge to get them all perfect but there's always that you can tend to. Happy theming! Ashish!!

By main text, do you mean the font-type/size for the post? I'll fix on the alignments (yeah..am aware of these misalignments). Thanks everybody for your comments..will be fixing these very shortly.

I am a Whitespace addict. ;) However I have a few issues with the current theme: 1. Looking at the amount of whitespace, the type used for the main text is not right. Did you try using a serif font for the main text? If you don't like that, try fiddling around with the line-heights of the main text. 2. The alignments are off at way too many places that I would care to talk about. For instance, the top links (next to Custom Search). - Adhip. I like the use of Whitespace.

But I guess the economics of it has to work as well for you. "Recession hits Pluggd.in". Not sure if you would like the community here to optimize things for you. I am not a techie but I am sure many of the blog's fans would be happy to help find a technical solution for you to get back to the earlier layout. The earlier one was way better.

Anyway I read through Google Reader, hope to get full articles atleast there.

Right now it looks kind of mashed up on the homepage, which sometimes puts visitors off ! I think if u can make this theme a bit more vibrant using CSS, it should be a good change overall!
